The money will flow back into the accounts where the books were actually purchased, be they at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or Apple. I expect most of mine to come to B&N; not sure exactly what I’ll spend them on given that I don’t buy B&N e-books anymore. Maybe a Blu-ray or something. Season 3 of RWBY should be dropping soon, and the first couple seasons of that are what I spent the $20 or so I got from the previous round of refunds on. The amount refunded this time around will be $6.93 for each New York Times bestseller, and $1.57 each for other books.

This brings the total refund to consumers over the price-fixing affair to $566 million, counting the already-disbursed $166 million from settling publishers.

And that should finally put an end to the whole sordid affair once and for all.
